The stalled negotiations have allowed us to fortify our territory, all the mountain passes are fortified with layers of ditches, earth walls, wooden spikes and foot traps (small hidden hole with a spike in it). We have gathered all the guns we could get, altogether we have 14k riflemen, and 2k rifle cavalry (mostly Prěvna). We also have the Prěvna horse archers, elite western horse archers, along with our own horse archers. We evacuate all Prěvna and Khalkud north of the Yarli mountains south of them, this leaves a large empty land between us, the northern tribes and Katphursiya, in the event of an attack. There are still small (2-50 men), highly mobile warrior parties in this land. We have built an entirely new city due to the amount of refugees, so far everything has gone to plan.
